What to do when faced with a challenge or goal that seems far beyond your ability?  This story for children celebrates the wonders that can happen if you just take action and do what you can. Zalina is the youngest in her family, but when Grandpa tells her the river might rise up and flood the village, she gets to work. A wall of sandbags would save the village, so she starts filling a burlap sack, one cup of sand at a time. Auntie laughs at Zalina. Her big brother and sister think she's being silly... until they see that the river really is rising! They join in, and soon all the children in the village are working on building a wall. It's not long before  all the adults are there, hauling rocks and sandbags for the wall by the riverbank.  With everyone working together, can they save the village?
